By all early accounts, Gov. Mike Huckabee's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" seems like a wild success.
Conservatives are lining up in droves. Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is offering his support and urging supporters to visit a restaurant. One Wendy's franchise owner expressed his support for Chick-fil-A at a North Carolina Wendy's.
Chick-fil-A originally incurred a backlash when COO Dan Cathy affirmed in an interview that the company did not support gay marriage.
"We are very much supportive of the family the biblical definition of the family unit," Cathy said.
Some mayors around the country including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino have publicly supported the boycott of Chick-fil-A.
According to its Facebook event page, more than 630,000 people planned to go to Chick-fil-A today.
Many of them took to Twitter and Instagram to document the craziness. As of this writing, there were almost 60,000 Instagram photos tagged with #chickfila.

Well played. The lib media and gay mafia activists want to drag everyone into the weeds of their imagined ‘victim and entitlement’ psychosis. If we don’t go there they can not succeed. The numbers are on our side.
excellent!! yes, that is best, but you owe me a keyboard ;)
My local, small-town GA CFA has been packed to the rafters since they opened this morning! 45 minute wait and one of the managers said that every employee on their payroll was working open to close today. The crowd was friendly and cheerful. Many comments were heard throughout the crowd about how bad Zero was going down if the turnout on Nov 6th was anywhere close to what CFA was getting today.
One of the local McDs and the local KFC had their billboards posting We agree with Dan Cathy and C-F-A Appreciation Day on them. Amazing that even CFAs competitors were supporting them.....
A
LOL
God Bless the USA
That’s all I could think looking here and at other sites of the waves of people all across this land standing up and saying, “Enough!”. We will not give in quietly.
Tears and joy all day:)
BTW, there is no CFA in Vegas so I am having to live vicariously through all these great photos being posted.
Sacramento, CA.
Our CFA in Greensboro NC was absolutely mobbed tonight. Cars stacked in the drive-thru and the dining tables were full with folks waiting patiently for them to empty...the staff was efficient and knew why we were all there....and they appreciated it.
I was pleasantly surprised at the diversity of the crowd and gratified to see a large number of Moms and Dads with kids in tow.
AND the spicy chicken combo was great! I will be back Friday if there are to be demonstrators...I definitely want them to see me enjoying a sammich “to go”.
Fascists.
I was wondering if this is sort of a reflection of what is to come in November?
What is best in life?
Crunch your waffle fries.
Eat the chicken sandwich before you.
Hear the lamentations of the homosexuals.
...may the hateful gay ponder that, on the tree of woe.
Upland, CA.
Northridge, CA
Riverside, CA
Jacksonville, NC has three CFAs. All of them were packed to the gills. We went to the one by Target on Western (for those familiar with the area), and it was so crowded, the JPD came out to do traffic. But what struck me was how pleasant everyone was. It took an hour from walking in to sitting down with food, yet everyone was chatting and laughing the whole time. No pushing, no impatience. It was wonderful.
Why doesn’t some rich gay entrepreneur open up their own chicken sandwich chain? They can call it “Chuck-Fil-As”.
